I think Frederik just speaks out, what some people (which i know in real life as well, not only by nickname) think about you. When i answered earlier to one of your post, i put aside everything, that simply reading your fake-german-english mixture startles in my stomach and focus on your ideas, which are to be honest, not entirely bad. But in your latest reply to this list, you go on provoking ad spreading a foul mood in general, which is simply not the way, osm operated so far. So i support Frederiks claim, and even make it my own (so you can not just blame Frederik or the DWG for opposing you) that you should not continue your work on rewriting the terms and even the less "helping" to enforce them, until you change your attitude towards the people who co-work (the "co" part is what osm is actually about) with you on such a great project like osm. >> I know that we don't operate a strict real-name policy at OSM but I would >> expect someone who wants to be involved at a level where they make mass >> edits and help shape project guidelines to be a real person with an identity >> and not just some nickname. > > I would not expect that. OSM has strict privacy policy, that says > "nothing but your user name will ever be disclosed". User name is > needed only to fight vandalism and have way to contact.

Still, since what you are doing, rewriting rules and on the same time doing large mechanical edits while violating said rules, reqires at least some basic trust in your person and your work, it would be nice to know who you are, what your profession is, what your history with osm is and if you have been involved in osm before...just to get to know you, you know.. >> I support Jaak's points; I dislike the flow chart presentation; +1 > > I was tempted to write "tl;dr" after this, even though I read this. 8 > lines of nice bookish English is nice for some newspaper article.

Keep in mind people who not > spik inglish. i am tempted to write ts;dr after each of your email, but this is exactly the kind of offensive behaviour i mentioned above. Be nice, be cooperative, be open to criticism and everbody will appreciate and gladly discuss your contributions. But like this....not. At least not me.
